Kazakhstani law is based on a civil law system, influenced by both Russian and Soviet legal traditions. The Constitution of Kazakhstan, adopted in 1995, serves as the supreme law, outlining the structure of government, fundamental rights, and the rule of law. The legal framework includes various codes, such as the Civil Code, Criminal Code, and Administrative Code, which govern different aspects of life. The judiciary is independent, with the Supreme Court being the highest authority in legal matters, ensuring the application and interpretation of laws throughout the country.
